Historical trend for number of devices

Reporting
1

Hi everyone,

Is there any way to report the historic trend of number of devices active in BigFix per month.
I need to know how many devices where active for the last 12 months, filtered down to each month.
For example how many devices were active in November 2022, type of device, operations system, computer group(s) of devices.

A graph would be a nice but not necessary.

Older posts that I’ve found but don’t really provide a solution

There is a <historical computer count> session relevance inspector that is supposed to track exactly that but for some reason it seems to no longer be working (at least in my environment - maybe someone has more experience with it and has any pointers?)…

Q: maximum of times of all computer counts
A: Tue Sep 14 2021 09:35:57 GMT+0100 (British Summer Time).

But welcome to try it in yours:
(count of it, time of it) of all computer counts

Apart from that BigFix doesn’t really keep a lot of historical data, especially if you have the Audit Cleaner/Computer remover scheduled… Insights might be a viable option if you have that?

This is exactly the sort of thing that Insights wuld be good at doing as it is a temporal database feeding off BFEnterprise.
